Invincible Martial God System

Chapter 54 Upgrading to Fifth Elder

Leng Yun has begun to gradually approach Xu Laohu.

"No—don't come any closer! If you take another step, I'll kill this little girl!" Xu Laohu said.

"Let her go!" Leng Yun said calmly, his tone devoid of emotion, yet it sounded incredibly authoritative.

It was as if it were a command from heaven, and no one was allowed to disobey it.

Even the seasoned and ruthless Xu Laohu was afraid, and he loosened his grip, releasing Leng Qing.

Even Xu Laohu was somewhat surprised by this action; it seemed as if he had involuntarily obeyed the command.

After being released, Leng Qing ran to Leng Yun's side.

"Young Master Yun." Leng Qing's eyes were filled with tears, and her ponytail looked a little messy.

"It's alright now," Leng Yun said gently to Leng Qing, then continued walking towards Xu Laohu's direction.

Xu Laohu's legs went weak: "You—you don't come any closer! I've already let that girl go, please spare me!"

"You colluded with bad guys, kidnapped Leng Qing, and killed my Leng family's servants. As the head of the Leng family, I tell you—no mercy!" Leng Yun said.

As they spoke, Leng Yun had already walked up to Xu Laohu.

At this moment, Xu Laohu had forgotten to resist; he was completely overwhelmed by Leng Yun's aura.

With a thought, Leng Yun sent the Burning Lamp Ruler back into his hand, and flames once again enveloped the dark blue broken ruler.

The next second, Leng Yun raised the Burning Lamp Ruler and slammed it down hard towards Xu Laohu.

"Ah! No—"

Xu Laohu let out a single scream of terror before dying on the spot.

"Ding! Killed a True Martial Realm Level 3 expert, gained 300000 experience points."

"Ding! Congratulations on leveling up, host. You have been awarded one chance to win a prize."

The bandits of Toutuo Mountain and the long-standing dead of the Leng family all died at Leng Yun's hands.

To Leng Yun's surprise, killing so many people this time actually leveled him up. Now Leng Yun's level is True Martial Realm Level 2.

He could feel that his power had increased.

At this moment, the duration of the Secret Technique Asura Transformation also disappeared, and Leng Yun returned to its original size and level.

Using the Asura Transformation also consumed a lot of internal energy. Leng Yun immediately felt completely exhausted and almost fell to the ground.

"Young Master Yun, how are you?" Leng Qing rushed forward worriedly to support Leng Yun.

"It's nothing, just that I was too exhausted." Leng Yunbian said, then swallowed two Qi-Boosting Pills to recover some of his strength.

"A lottery," Leng Yun thought to himself.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the 3rd grade Kapok bloodline."

Leng Yun didn't know what kind of magical beast the Kapok was, but the effects of the Kapok bloodline were quite good, as it could increase the speed of internal energy recovery by fifty percent.

This bloodline seems to have the same effect as the wood element.

Leng Yun was not in a hurry to replace his bloodline. He currently has five bloodlines, but only three bloodline slots, and he only has one chance to replace them each time he upgrades.

Bloodline plays a huge role for Leng Yun now, so he must be very careful each time it is replaced.

Different bloodlines have different attributes, and different combinations of bloodlines will produce different effects. Only by making the most reasonable combination according to the needs can the effect be maximized.

With the matter on Mount Toutuo resolved, Leng Yun should return to the Leng family. This time, the gains have been considerable.

When Leng Yun returned to the Leng family, all the members of the Leng family looked at him in surprise.

Leng Yun was carrying two corpses. One was charred beyond recognition, but it could still be vaguely identified as the Fifth Elder. The other was none other than Xu Laohu, an enemy of the Leng family.

The Leng family members immediately surrounded Leng Yun, wanting to see what was going on.

Then, Leng Yun took out the Fifth Elder's elder token from his pocket.

The fact that the token is in Leng Yun's hands means that Leng Yun has been promoted to the fifth elder!

"The Fifth Elder colluded with outsider Xu Laohu to kidnap Leng Qing. I have already dealt with him according to the Leng family rules. From today onwards, I am the Fifth Elder," Leng Yun said loudly.

A murmur immediately broke out below:

"No wonder Xu Laohu dared to mess with our Leng family."

"Thank goodness for Young Master Yun's presence. This Tiger Xu is just unlucky."

"I never expected that the Fifth Elder would be this kind of person!"

Leng Yun glanced at the Second Elder standing in the distance and continued loudly, "I know there are others colluding with Xu Laohu. You'd better watch yourself!"

Leng Yun's reprimand was directed at the Second Elder, but even so, the Second Elder could only suffer in silence, because he couldn't very well go up and argue with Leng Yun, otherwise he would expose himself.

In the following days, Leng Qing became the focus of everyone's attention.

She tirelessly recounted her story from Toutuo Mountain, and whenever someone asked, she would proudly tell them.

Moreover, Leng Qing always embellished the story, so that people heard different versions of it.

However, one thing remains the same: Leng Yun in the story transformed into a giant over 3 meters tall after using a secret technique.

Every time Leng Qing got to this point, it surprised everyone else.

When Leng Yun heard this, he was both amused and exasperated, as he had no way to deal with the little girl.

……

The Leng family mansion, the Second Elder's Pavilion.

Of the original five elders, two have already been killed by Leng Yun, leaving only three people gathered together to discuss the matter.

"What should we do? Second Elder, it's almost my turn." The Fourth Elder looked worried.

The Third Elder said, "That Leng Yun is indeed quite capable; we must take him seriously."

His relationship with the Fourth Elder was merely one of mutual dependence, and he was somewhat worried at the moment.

“Yes, and Leng Yun killed Xu Laohu, so he will soon have enough contribution points to challenge me,” the Fourth Elder continued.

The second elder, who had remained silent until now, slowly put down his cup: "Look at yourself! Do you think we'd be intimidated by a junior?"

"Second Elder, should we make our move now?" the Fourth Elder suggested.

"No!" the Second Elder said decisively. "The First Elder hasn't refined it yet, so it's dangerous to act now. We need at least ten more days."

"Ten days? That's too long. I reckon even I'll be challenged by Leng Yun!" the Third Elder said.

The second elder glanced at the two of them, picked up his teacup again, and said softly, "Both of you are at the fourth level of the True Martial Realm. It wouldn't be easy for Leng Yun to defeat either of you. If the two of you join forces—"

"The Second Elder wants us to—" the Fourth Elder's eyes widened, "but this—"

"There are no 'buts.' If you don't kill Leng Yun, you'll be the ones who lose very quickly," the Second Elder said softly, then fell silent and brought the teacup to his lips.
